The lessons are organized and conducted by the museum’s permanent art educators. The dialogical teaching takes place in the exhibition and in the summer workshop (painting school) of the museum, which functions as an active learning process, where the interaction of children and young people with modern art is promoted. The goal is to inspire them, to recognize astonishing and artistic abilities in themselves, and to develop them further.
In teaching, great importance is placed on shared amazement, discussion, and reflection. Observation and exploration, as well as experimenting in interaction with works of art, always take place with the art educators.
The Niemeyer-Holstein Museum offers events for children and families, providing an opportunity to experience the original artist’s home and studio of the painter Otto Niemeyer-Holstein (1896-1984). Otto Niemeyer-Holstein understood nature as a natural companion of human existence. Niemeyer-Holstein’s painterly personality offers a visual language that reflects moods of emergency, grief, hope, and vitality. Artistic reflections inspire one’s own creative expressions.
Otto Niemeyer-Holstein as an Artistic Personality and Mediator
Otto Niemeyer-Holstein found an answer to the questions of his time through his painting. He firmly adhered to the indomitable reality of nature. His painting was considered fundamental to humanistic art in the GDR and a significant contribution to European modernism. In Lüttenort, he lived on a classical borderland between the German Empire and the Weimar Republic, during Nazi dictatorship and the Holocaust, and in the time of the Cold War between East and West Germany. With the awarding of the GDR’s National Prize, he achieved recognition for his life’s work, which, in the readiness of the GDR to honor him, culminated in the establishment of the "Otto Niemeyer-Holstein Memorial Site."
The term humanism derives from the Latin words humanitas (humanity) and humanus (human). Humanism is a worldview that places human dignity at the center. The highest happiness is achieved when humanism can be lived, meaning all people are treated equally. It is important to have the opportunity to educate oneself and develop further. It is therefore necessary to have the right and the opportunity to freely express one's opinion.
